Shifting the view to Aos Qin's side, in this battle, Aos Qin felt that he fought quite easily. Dai Mubai clearly was not accustomed to the combat tempo of Soul Guidance Devices, and his Martial Soul also was not suited to handling this type of situation.
At the very beginning, when Dai Mubai allowed Aos Qin to smoothly eat the Soul Skill Hamburger and widen the distance, the result of this battle was already determined.
Dai Mubai's Soul Skills could not strike Aos Qin at such a distance, so he could only passively endure Aos Qin's attacks.
Furthermore, Aos Qin's total Soul Power, under the blessing of his Soul Skills, surpassed Dai Mubai's. In this war of attrition, Aos Qin was guaranteed to win.
Although on the surface it looked like Aos Qin chose this prolonged method to go easy and help Dai Mubai successfully enroll,
Aos Qin dared to guarantee—he really did not do so for that reason. In fact, if he wanted to ensure his victory, he could only choose this method.
Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul was truly an extremely top-tier Martial Soul, balanced in offense and defense. Moreover, Dai Mubai himself was not a novice — he could unleash most of the power of the White Tiger Martial Soul.
If Aos Qin had wanted a quick battle, he would have had to pour a large amount of Soul Power in a short time to make his Soul Guidance Device erupt with enough intensity to break Dai Mubai's defense.
But doing so meant giving up the advantage of his first Soul Skill, which allowed him to slowly recover Soul Power during battle — and instead clash directly with Dai Mubai using his existing Soul Power.
Considering the White Tiger's defensive strength and Dai Mubai's one-level higher Soul Power, such a method could very well overturn the result.
After all, even if Dai Mubai had exhausted his Soul Power and could not release Soul Skills, as long as he could maintain his Martial Soul Possession, he could fight physically with tiger claws.
If Aos Qin ran out of Soul Power and could not control his Soul Guidance Device, then that would be equivalent to a human fighting a tiger bare-handed. Perhaps Wu Song could do it, but Aos Qin did not have that ability.
In the end, nothing unexpected happened — after draining most of Dai Mubai's Soul Power, Aos Qin directly used the Energy-Gathering Soul-Guided Cannon to bombard Dai Mubai.
The powerless Dai Mubai was saved by Zhao Wuji.
After the battle ended, because Aos Qin maintained only minimal-intensity attacks the whole time and his first Soul Skill continuously restored his Soul Power slowly, he still had half of his Soul Power left.
On the other side, Dai Mubai — his Soul Power nearly exhausted and his face slightly pale — looked at his opponent, who had removed his Soul-Guided Armor yet still appeared calm and composed. A trace of confusion flashed through his heart.
In this entire battle, he had used every ounce of ability he had, yet could not close the gap between himself and his opponent. In half an hour, he had not struck his opponent once.
Don't talk about range advantage — he had fought long-range type Soul Masters before, though the distance at that time was not as exaggerated as today.
Back then, he could defeat the opponent because their attacks could not stop his approach.
He had closed in on that long-range Soul Master within only ten minutes.
Although he consumed a lot of Soul Power then, so what? Once a long-range Soul Master was approached, it meant they lost.
But today's battle, from beginning to end, he was locked in place by the opponent's seemingly not very powerful firepower.
For a long-range type Soul Master, the most important trait lies in the word "long" — only a long-range Soul Master who can effectively prevent an opponent from closing in is a truly qualified long-range Soul Master.
Unfortunately, today he encountered a genius-level long-range Soul Master.
Since he could not break through the firepower lockdown, he could only watch as his Soul Power was gradually consumed bit by bit.
Then, at the moment he exhausted his strength, the opponent delivered a finishing blow.
What did this mean? It meant the rhythm of the entire battle was in the opponent's hands. The gap between them was so vast that Dai Mubai could not even imagine it.
Since awakening his Martial Soul, aside from losing to that person due to age gap, among his peers he was always the strongest.
That was what he was proud of — yet today, in this shabby-looking school, he lost without any power to fight back, and his opponent's Soul Power level was lower than his own.
And from the teacher's words, it was obvious that the other two students observing likely were not much weaker than his opponent.
Meaning, most likely, he wouldn't be able to beat them either. Thinking back to his arrogant attitude when he first arrived, it now seemed ridiculous.
These three were clearly not older than him, yet in Soul Power — except for that chubby one — he had no obvious advantage, not to mention combat power.
Sure enough, just like the teacher at the door said, this was indeed an academy for monsters.
While Dai Mubai was reflecting on his attitude and resolving to learn and grow here properly,
Aos Qin had already been surrounded by Oscar and Ma Hongjun."Kid, tell the truth—did you intentionally drag the fight because of the bet?"
Feeling Ma Hongjun's hand on his neck already radiating fiery heat,
Aos Qin quickly refuted, "No, no, absolutely not. Don't look at how I kept that Dai Mubai guy controlled at far range the whole time and won easily—
That was only on the surface. That guy may act arrogant, but he really does have skill.
Not to mention he's already Soul Power level 28 at age twelve—
And in his first experience against Soul Guidance Device attacks — attacks exceeding normal Soul Skill ranges — he quickly reacted and chose the correct strategy. That alone deserves praise.
As for him not landing a hit on me — that's perfectly normal. After all, even you two together couldn't break my firepower lockdown, right?"
Hearing this, Oscar and Ma Hongjun felt stabbed in the heart. Taking advantage of their momentary daze, Aos Qin slipped out of their grip.
Seeing Dai Mubai had already snapped out of his initial dazed state,
Aos Qin sighed inwardly: "Anyone who can enter Shrek Academy by strength is not simple. Fortunately, I'm also riding this fast train now."
Thinking this, he walked toward Dai Mubai. At this time, Zhao Wuji had already announced Dai Mubai passed the entrance exam — he just needed to pay the tuition to Flender later and he would officially be a Shrek Academy student.
Walking up to Dai Mubai, Aos Qin manifested his first Soul Skill, "Charcoal-Grilled Cheese Beef Burger," and handed it to him.
Dai Mubai hesitated, but still accepted it — he indeed needed to recover.
Watching Dai Mubai eat his burger, Aos Qin spoke:"From now on, we'll likely be classmates.
Since the academy only has the three students you saw, there are no class divisions.
We all study together — and if we get along, we can become battle partners.
Formal introduction: My name is Aos Qin, eleven years old. At age six, after the dean who awakened my Martial Soul for me and my brother saw my talent, he directly brought me into the academy to train.
My Martial Soul is a food-type Martial Soul with innate full Soul Power — hamburger. I am now Soul Power level 27. My two Soul Skills are:
Charcoal-Grilled Cheese Beef Burger — enhances Soul Power activity for one hour, but can only be eaten once per hour.
The specific effect is granting Soul Power slow-recovery ability during battle and speeding up Soul-Power circulation during meditation once a day.
Spicy Sichuan Pepper Beef Burger — very simple effect, ignores level and increases Soul Power by 15% for half an hour."
Hearing the effects of Aos Qin's Soul Skills, Dai Mubai was stunned. As the prince of the Star Luo Empire, he knew quite a lot about Soul Masters.
An innate full Soul Power food-type Soul Master — unheard of. As for the Soul Skill effects, given innate full Soul Power, it wasn't impossible to accept.
Seeing suspicion in Dai Mubai's eyes, Aos Qin didn't mind:
"This world is vast. No one can say they understand the entire world.
There is always someone beyond, and sky beyond the sky. Things that never existed before do not mean they will never appear.
I am the first-ever innate full Soul Power food-type Soul Master, and this is Shrek Academy that only accepts monster-level geniuses."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai's expression turned serious. Today's battle made him deeply agree with those words."Shrek Academy… perhaps my destiny will find salvation here."
With that thought, Dai Mubai solemnly introduced himself:"Dai Mubai, twelve years old. Martial Soul: White Tiger. Soul Power level 28, Power-Attack Battle Soul Master. It's an honor to become classmates. I hope we can improve together from now on."
Oscar and Ma Hongjun also came over and introduced themselves. Since they'd study together, it was best not to be distant.
As for Oscar being another innate full Soul Power food-type Soul Master — Dai Mubai was not shocked this time. It was obvious Oscar and Aos Qin were twins; he had already prepared himself mentally.
However, Ma Hongjun having Soul Power level 23 at age nine, and possessing the Phoenix Martial Soul, still made Dai Mubai sigh: Shrek Academy truly deserved the title Monster Academy.
